The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided not to authorize any new constructions or developmental works within 50 meters from the Musi river boundary in alignment with the state government’s focus on revitalizing the 55-km long polluted Musi river through the Musi Riverfront Development Project.
The Musi Riverfront Development Corporation Limited (MRDCL) has outlined rejuvenation plans for a 55 km stretch from Osmansagar dam downstream to Outer Ring Road (ORR) East near Gouravelli and from Himayatsagar downstream to the confluence point at Bapughat.
The development initiative includes plans for an East-West road corridor along the river, 39 sewage treatment plants, and related infrastructure, necessitating approval for clearance on both sides of the river.
